It is Eamonn Wall's exceptional achievement as a poet to have extended the sources and vision of his work on the open road of America while remaining vividly in step with whatever he encounters anywhere, and to have done so without losing sight of the horizon of the past likewise expanding intricately behind. This is an indispensable carryall filled with this remarkable poet's best and most exemplary poems from his six previous books. Eamonn Wall is a native of Co. Wexford who emigrated to the USA in 1982. He lives in St. Louis and is employed by the University of Missouri-St. Louis as Smurfit-Stone Corporation Professor in Irish Studies.
